Hi, friend. I’m Scott Kelly – former NASA Astronaut, retired U.S. Navy Captain and resident of CO district 4.

I’ve been to space four times and spent nearly a year on the International Space Station (ISS). I commanded both the Space Shuttle and the ISS, and I flew with more than 40 people from across the world—scientists, engineers, doctors—men and women of every background, faith, and nationality. We didn’t share the same backgrounds, but we shared a mission: work together, stay focused, and deliver.

That’s the kind of leadership and focus we need in Congress. That’s what Trisha Calvarese brings to the table.

I’m proud to endorse Trisha Calvarese in Colorado’s 4th District.

Trisha is running to defeat Lauren Boebert – and I’m proud to endorse her in this critical mission. 

Trisha grew up here on the rural Eastern Plains and in Douglas County. She served our country as a civil servant and returned home to care for her sick parents at the end of their lives. She understands the people of this district because she’s actually one of us. She’s running for Congress to stand up for the dignity and care of families in her hometown.

That means protecting Social Security and Medicare. It means working to bring down the cost of everything from prescription drugs to groceries. It means investing again in U.S. science and engineering to create good-paying jobs and opportunities. Trisha’s ready to actually show up, listen and deliver for folks in her district.

But while Trisha is advocating for you, Lauren Boebert is spending her time making headlines, avoiding her constituents and voting to gut the programs Coloradans rely on. That’s why I’m counting on you to join me in supporting Trisha’s campaign to defeat Boebert. 

But grassroots campaigns like this one aren’t easy. And right now Trisha is counting on our help to raise the $10,000 she needs to build the early infrastructure it takes to win races like this. 

So, friend, I’m personally asking: Will you chip in $5 or more today to help Trisha Calvarese defeat Lauren Boebert, take back the House for Democrats and give working families the voice they deserve in Congress?

Thanks for backing someone who’s in this for the right reasons.

– Scott
